The IRS encourages taxpayers to file an accurate tax return.
If a taxpayer makes an error on their return, it will likely take longer for
the IRS to process it. This could delay a refund. Avoid many common errors by
filing electronically. IRS e-file is the most accurate way to file a tax
return.

From the IRS.gov website we have shared nine common errors to avoid when preparing a tax
return:

Missing or Inaccurate
Social Security Numbers. Be sure to enter each SSN on a tax return exactly
as printed on the Social Security card.

Misspelled Names.
Spell all names listed on a tax return exactly as listed on that individual’s
Social Security card.

Filing Status Errors. Some people claim the wrong filing status,
such as Head of Household instead of Single. E-file software helps prevent
mistakes.

Math Mistakes. Math errors are common. They range from
simple addition and subtraction to more complex items. Transactions like
figuring the taxable portion of a pension, IRA distribution or Social Security
benefits are more difficult and result in more errors.

Errors in Figuring
Tax Credits or Deductions. Filers
can make mistakes figuring their Earned Income Tax Credit, Child and Dependent
Care Credit, the standard deduction and other items. Taxpayers need to follow
the instructions carefully.

Incorrect Bank
Account Numbers. The IRS strongly
urges all taxpayers who have a refund due to choose direct deposit. It’s easy
and convenient. Be careful to use the
right routing and account numbers on the tax return. The fastest and safest way
to get a refund is to combine e-file with direct deposit.

Forms Not Signed. An unsigned tax return is like an unsigned
check – it’s not valid. Both spouses must sign a joint return. Taxpayers can
avoid this error by filing their return electronically. Sign an e-filed tax return
digitally before sending it to the IRS.

Filing with an
expired ITIN. A tax return filed with an expired Individual Tax
Identification Number (ITIN) will be processed and treated as timely filed, but
will be processed without any exemptions or credits claimed. Taxpayers will
receive a notice from the IRS explaining that an ITIN must be current before
any refund is paid. Once the ITIN is renewed, exemptions and credits are
processed and any allowed refund paid. ITIN expiration and renewal information
is available on IRS.gov.
